The DA says residents of the City of Tshwane will continue to suffer irreparable harm while the legal battle for control of the capital city continues. Gauteng MEC for Co-operative Governance, Lebogang Maile, has filed an application to appeal yesterday's Pretoria High Court Judgment at the Supreme Court of Appeals.
